6/10 Good

Room was quite small, the room next door was being used as a staff room so was noisy throughout the day and night while staff were coming and going. Breakfast was ok, limited other options around the hotel so was needed. Location wise, this was our first time in Istanbul and the hotel isn't as centrally located as you'd think, long walk to the touristy areas and restaurants.

Hotel was good, clean, location is nice, breakfast was good, was also good for dinner. The staff was SPECTACULAR!

Hotel is clean. We must say that hotel staff was very well-behaved. Room is small. Very limited amenities in bathrooms.
Abu, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I lived in this hotel for 4 days. The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very good, served from 7:30 until 10:30 a.m. The hotel is in a quiet and convenient location, but close to the mosque. There are some good place to exchange money nearby. I would like to stay there again if I go to Istanbul.

I have stayed in this property multiple times. staff are extremly well trained, professional and more so go out of their way to help. the service is unmatchable. me and my family have no reason to stay elsewhere especially the cost of rooms are relatively speaking lot less than similare hotels. highly recommend this place specially if you are a first timer in Istanbul.

Good service and comfortable beds. We didn’t choose to pay for breakfast so I don’t know about the food. Wonderful view but only for short periods because we had to close curtains for privacy. It’s quite a distances and uphill from public transport.
Muna, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our stay was for 6 nights. All of the staff were courteous, friendly & most helpful. Breakfast was a highlight with a very diverse & healthy selection.Our room was very quiet & comfortable, with the hotel in close proximity to restaurants, the light rail, which connects to major attractions in 6-7 minutes, 9-10 minutes for the Bosphorus. The manager was very generous with his time organising tours & taxi cabs, etc. We were very pleased with our hotel selection.
Alexander, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

What a lovely place to stay, a wonderful community of people, from the front desk, to bar staff, kitchen, spa services. These people really know how to give brilliant hospitality. They work hard to keep the customers happy, they made us feel welcomed the very first day all the way to our very last day. ❣️ Such a wonderful bunch of staff. I would definitely be returning. It’s clean, smells lovely, fresh with a modern look. The food was lovely. It’s the first hotel I have been to that have gluten free products on display at breakfast without me having to ask for it. Biscuits, cake and bread. This is rare I was so pleased to see this. Every hotel should do this. To accommodate everyones needs. The front desk were so helpful with anything we needed and also helped us to find tours or travel and outside entertainment and site seeing around the Istanbul city. It was such a pleasant and enjoyable stay. The staff are loving, caring and really care about their guests. They go the extra mile to make you feel happy with your stay. Kemel Gigdem, Faith and Mashsun they were my favorites and Spa service staff plus The hospitality staff made breakfast feel great. Front desk is the best, they set the tone for the hotel and bring high expectations and you definitely see it. We will certainly be coming back. Thank you Holiday inn Old City Istanbul.
Sherine, 8-night trip

4/10 Fair

Floor had stains all over it. The bedroom floor had black stains and the toilet floor had red stains on it. The double bed was not a double, it was two singles put together so you couldn't sleep in the middle of it as the two mattresses would just split. Food was poor, mediocre at best but staff were lovely and kind.
Abdal, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff were very nice and tried hard to fix some of the issues. The room looked great and the bed was comfortable but it was dirty. I had dropped something on the floor and realized under the bed was never swept. Like 2-3 inches of yuck. The bathroom was nice but the shower was dangerous. The shower floor was slippery and had a crack in it and would bleed out black stuff. I ended up putting a towel down so I wouldn't fall. The aircon was not cold. It was like 80-85' in my rm and only cooled off after sun went down. Finally, the wifi was very spotty. Most times had to go to lobby to do computer work. However, I was offered another room but I did not like the location and it was smaller and no difference in rm temp. On the plus side: I could wash my shirts and they would dry by the time I returned for the day. A small grocery across street offered toiletries, fruit, drinks and candy. Hotel walking distance (10-15min walk) to Bizarre and sites, tram station very close and it was safe with a descent breakfast buffet/omelet in am. The gym and lobby area were clean and actually cooler then my room.
